Simple aesthetics really.
Rockstar sacrificed visuals for size, and while it didn't matter when the game came out, it's really starting to show after recently playing GTA 5.

I recently plugged in an old PS2 and tried to play VC, but it was nearly unplayable.
I don't what the PC version is like, but it hasn't held up well on the PS2.

It's been brought up, yes. Not really my cup of tea, though. I can't really say what specifically didn't work for me in this game, but it felt like it was mediocre at everything it did.
Nope. I was curious about it. Is it good?

I like all of GTA3 family, though in different ways. Replayed all several times.
GTA1/2 - could not get used to painfully small FOV.
GTA4 - meh. Meh everything.
SR2-4 all worth playing at least once. Did not play SR1. SR4 is superhero sim way more than vehicle sim.
Watch Dogs - meh plot, clunky controls, but a lot of original mechanics.
Sleeping Dogs - a bit smallish, but lovingly recreated Hong Kong. Mostly usual GTA fare, but with beat-em-up elements. Liked the plot a lot.
Just Cause 2 - playing now. World is huge indeed, but something is missing. Maybe it will play better when I'll get used to controls.
Total Overdose - really liked it, played it three times. Mostly it's open city combo-making firefight. Like Bulletstorm, but without the crazy guns (and glove and boots). Cool Mexican B-movean style.
Far Cry 3 - played it one and a half time. Mostly good sandbox. Plot is meh. Only sympathetic character is appearing very late in the game and killed shortly after.
Bully - worth playing once. I got bored after about 2/3 and finished it way later. GTA mix with Scool Daze. I was not very good with classes - Crafts are designed for gamepad controls, make-words-from letters are not easy for non-native speakers and I don't know where the hell that states of USA are.
GUN - PS3-less man's Red Dead Redemption. Pretty cool plot. And everything else. But small.
And of cause, if you just want an open world, thare are Assassin Creeds. All the same, but with different scenery. One with Rome is the coolest. Mix of medieval and classic architecture is breathtaking.

The Saboteur is very good and the soundtrack is absolutely incredible. Plus, you fight nazis and the only better thing to shoot at in games are nazi zombies
Regarding old GTA's getting too old, there is some truth in it. i bought the whole collection on steam and fired up vice city which is my fav GTA and SA for the first time in like 5 years and to be honest both looked like ugly shit (i consider both GTA1 and 2 better looking games). still very playable though.
i second red dead redemption and sleeping dogs, fantastic games. saints row and just cause 2 also tons of fun.

Vice City and San Andreas still look fine to me, apply 16x AF with bunch of AA from card panel and ready to go. I wasn't able to play VC due to its problems Win7 when I tried replaying couple months ago, however, fixes didn't help. It's GTA3 that's truly dated as fuck, and I don't really mean visuals, it's just horribly clunky. But I never was a big fan of it anyway, I started loving series with Vice City.
Yeah, GTA:SA looks pretty good with the graphics ramped up. Nothing like the PS2 images above.
I still fire up GTA:SA and rampage through town without hitting the first mission/going to Grove Street. You can buy houses, do the vehicle missions, and quite a bit without ever "starting" the game. Also, you can get an NRG-500 which spawns in SF and jump the river safely. Explore the rest of the map (with 4 stars). Highly entertaining.
Unfortunately, I played so much GTA:SA that GTA:IV and other games driving controls feel awkward by comparison. Kinda ruined the genre.

I like GTA IV driving controls best of all games of this type. Although I still wouldn't have spent so much time in it if not for multiplayer.
